This is a free programme from ELR which I have found very useful for more basic needs of students. You can tailor it to what you know works best with your student or on what you need to work to improve the student.
WordCue provides assistance in reading words, links and phrases on web pages. By selecting a word or phrase which is difficult to read, a range of cues are provided directly within the Browser. These may be in the form of:
A picture of the word
Syllabification of the wordeg "elephant" e-le-phant
Definition of the wordeg An animal
An example of the word in a sentenceeg The elephant walked to the lake
The word or phrase to spoken
Not all words have been matched with cues. There are currently approximately 1,700 most frequently used words in the English language which contain syllabification, definition, example sentence and spoken cues. Of these 1,200 also have a picture cue. Robin B 18/10/11
